RAL 6017
May Green
RAL 6017 May Green is a fresh, spring-like green that captures the vibrant color of new foliage in early May across temperate Europe. This optimistic shade conveys growth, renewal, and natural abundance, making it a popular choice for garden architecture, organic food branding, and sustainable building design. May Green bridges the gap between the darker traditional greens and brighter signal greens, offering a natural, believable green that works well in both rural and urban contexts.
